FAQs

Spray foam insulation expands upon application, creating an airtight barrier. Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper treated with fire retardants. While spray foam offers superior R-value per inch and better air sealing properties, cellulose is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective.

Closed-cell spray foam insulation provides the highest R-value, ranging from 6.5 to 7.0 per inch. Open-cell spray foam offers 3.5 to 4.0 per inch, while cellulose insulation ranges from 3.2 to 3.8 per inch. Therefore, closed-cell spray foam demonstrates the best thermal performance per inch of thickness.

The cost of insulating a building varies depending on factors such as insulation type, building size, and whether it's a new or existing structure.

Our process begins with a phone consultation to discuss your insulation needs. We then inspect your home, select the most suitable insulation material, and proceed with the installation. Our goal is to ensure you can enjoy an efficient, comfortable home with optimal temperature control and a healthier living environment.

Indicators that your home may require new insulation include higher than normal energy bills, difficulty maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, drafty areas, visible mold growth, moisture issues, and insulation that is visibly deteriorating or falling apart.

Installing proper insulation can lead to significant energy savings, potentially reducing heating and cooling costs by 15% to 40%. The exact savings depend on your home's current condition and local climate factors.

The necessity of removing old insulation depends on its condition. If the existing insulation is wet, moldy, or damaged, removal is often required. However, if it's in good condition, we may be able to add new insulation on top to enhance the overall R-value. Our technicians will assess the area and recommend the most effective solution.
